New Champion Select Needs a Different Look:

I saw the LCS layout and I love this, it is very clear, you can clearly see bans, champions, summoner spells, summoner names, and all that. It keeps the old layout with a proper place for chat, runes/masteries selection, ward skins, summoner spell selection, and a place for 10 wide champion page, and tabs for the skins page and such with a good place for the search bar (you know, for champions).

As much as flashy animations can look nice, honestly the dark colours and flashy animations just quickly annoy me and give me a headache (and the system hasn't even been out for a week).

I do like being able to select your role and have it be assigned to you and the planning phase; but honestly everything about the old champion select is better (one person or three people doing bans I really don't care about, it doesn't matter to me on that front). So the look I saw for LCS this weekend was perfect, it updates the look to Windows 10 feeling (something I am sure a lot of you have by now), but it does NOT change the overall layout of the champion select which I like because the old champion select is actually a flawless design already, just I will agree the visuals are pretty out dated at this point because it was made back in 2009 and its now 2016. So visual update is fine, changing champion select honestly was not, and I do really like the new LCS champion select look I saw this weekend. One last thing, having the blue side and red side colours would make things a lot better as well to be easier to know what side you are on in champion select (obviously for LCS spectator is always the same where left is blue and right is red so having those team colours is very nice to looks at; obviously for solo queue left does not always equal blue side obviously), and the new champion select on the LCS layout has a lot more obvious visual queue of who is currently picking which I like as well.
